Rana Daggubati fell off his horse while training for Baahubali

Southern actor Rana Daggubati, who faced minor injuries here on Saturday while rehearsing action scenes for upcoming Telugu period-drama Baahubali, is in good health, says the film's director SS Rajamouli.

"He met with a minor injury while rehearsing some action sequences for Baahubali. He was admitted to Care Hospital, but he is absolutely fine. He will resume training tomorrow," Rana's manager told.

"He (Rana Daggubati) is perfectly fine. His injuries were minor bruises. I insisted him to go to (the) doctor just for safety check (up)," posted Rajamouli on his Twitter page.

It was reported that Rana was injured after he fell while riding a horse. He has been training for some important action scenes for the film, which is set to go on floors on July 6. Besides Rana, Baahubali also features Anushka Shetty and Prabhas Varma in important roles.

The entire team has been training in horse-riding and sword-fighting over the last few months. This was one of the reasons why the project was delayed.

Baahubali is jointly produced by Shobu Yarlagadda, Prasad Devineni and K Raghavendra Rao, while MM Keeravani has been roped in to compose the music.

Meanwhile, Rana recently wrapped up shooting for upcoming yet-to-be-titled Tamil action-thriller with Ajith Kumar.
